1995 - 94m.

After a 1968 flashback that has a young boy escaping while his parents are killed by a gang of vampires we're introduced to the adult version of that boy who turns out to be Don "The Dragon" Wilson a loner martial arts, stake sporting self-appointed vampire hunter. So while some poor Mexican-flavoured music drones on we have our "brooding" hero Wilson hunting down the same gang of vampires (who are also quite adept at karate kicking) that killed his parents many years back.

Loaded with a weak and lackluster script that doesn't even bother to follow vampire mythology at all and with plenty of poorly choreographed fight scenes (during which director Jacobson loves to make his camera shake around like mad which is more distracting and annoying than anything) this is a low-brow action/horror amalagmation with Wilson making a lousy hero and acting more wooden than usual.

Total crap, but at least we can question why since Wilson's character is supposed to be this great vampire killer he keeps getting his ass thoroughly whupped.
